Warning: Avoid Morris Hills Memorials at All Costs!…read more If I could give zero stars, I would. Morris Hills Memorials is a disgrace to the funeral and memorial industry, and their behavior is nothing short of predatory. For over three years, this company has been taking advantage of grieving families, exploiting people at their most vulnerable moments for financial gain. What's worse is that they promise compassion and quality during difficult times, only to deliver no services at all--after they've taken your money! Numerous families, including my own, have been misled, overcharged, and outright scammed by this company. We are not talking about minor delays; we're talking about no memorial, no return phone calls, emails or texts - they dishonor the memory of our loved ones. It is despicable how this business operates, preying on those who are too emotionally drained to fight back. The owner shows no remorse, no accountability, and hides behind false promises and deceptive contracts. They are incredibly unprofessional, and when confronted, become defensive, rude, and dismissive. There is no excuse for the unethical treatment they've shown to grieving families who trusted them during their most difficult time. The only recourse is Small Claims Court and Kurt is relying on people not bringing a claim against him as the legal fees outweigh the deposit. He's despicable. Do yourself a favor--DO NOT do business with Morris Hills Memorials. There are reputable, caring companies out there who genuinely want to help people through their grief. This company is NOT one of them. You don't need added stress and frustration on top of your loss. Stay far, far away from these scammers.

The service at the time was done beautifully and as I asked. They even let me include our dogs (in crates, of course). When I tell you that this memorial home has gone way above and beyond the service and kindness you would want, they really have. I went to a few other places before deciding on Madison Memorial Home and believe me when I tell you, this is the one you want. Other places rushing you, trying to get you sign or agree to things while you're in the middle of crying, Literally. Doug and his staff did None of that. They were kind, patient and respectful. I hope your family never has a need for services like this, but if you do, this is the place you want.

Driving into the cemetery, after a rather long, arduous drive on parkway north, we entered a beautiful, peaceful catholic cemetery.. so lovely, I thought. Unfortunately, I had to deal with two women working in the cemetery office. As we approached the counter, the workers took their sweet time to address us. Then unfortunately, this troll-like woman, whom I believe was Lydia, rummaged through our paperwork with much distain and rudeness. She was without a doubt, the most ignorant, and despicable person I unfortunately had to encounter. Believe me, these were especially trying times for myself and family. However, the other employee came to the counter and resolved the issue, which I might add, was caused by their office giving the funeral director of Evergreen Funeral Home, Middletown,NJ., incorrect or not specific requirements needed for the paperwork. Here's a thought Lydia, if you are so unhappy being employed by the Archdiocese, Gate of Heaven Cemetery, in which you deal with bereaved families , you should seek employment more suitable to your demeanor and personality...such as a garbage depot. ja

Want to say "Thank You" to Father Joe, the new Chaplain at the cemetery. When I dropped by the…read moreMausoleum to say a prayer in the chapel I noticed a table set up near the entrance where Father Joe had a sign introducing himself as the Chaplain, offering to say a prayer for those whose names could be written on paper provided and asking visitors to take one of the crosses on a mirror on the table. I planned to return to the Mausoleum after visiting the graves of my relatives to get a cross before leaving. While I was at the gravesite of a loved one, a car pulled up and Father Joe introduced himself. He requested that I write a name down of a loved one who he could pray for and he gave me a Holy Spirit Pin to hold onto. He felt like so genuine a human being and meeting him lifted my spirits and felt so comforting. Father Joe seems like a truly welcome addition to Gate of Heaven and it is so wonderful to personally experience how he is making himself available for spiritual guidance to visitors

I am not sure I would have been able to navigate such a difficult time without her steady guidance from start to finish. My late husband was Jewish, and while I am not, Samantha thoughtfully walked me through each tradition, explaining its meaning and significance. She made it possible for me to make respectful, informed decisions that honored Jewish funeral customs. Throughout, she was honest, compassionate, and never pushed unnecessary or costly additions. I highly recommend Menorah Chapels for their professionalism, care, and integrity during such an emotional time.

I came across Inpeace. The care of the team and also the flexibility made them the ultimate choice that I ended up going with. They have a quick turn around time to have your loved one cremated rather than waiting weeks to get your loved one the rest that they truly need. They were also very flexible with the payment method specially when you need to get the process moving. Any questions I had was answered with confidence or if they did not know, they would look for the answer and get back to me as soon as they were able. If you are going through what I am going through, I highly recommend Inpeace as the premier cremation service without any doubt.

I can't bear to describe the details, but the family had no choice but to request the casket be closed. This request seemed to irritate the funeral director to no end. He got very defensive when the family expressed dissatisfaction. My husband finally had to tell them, "Either YOU close the casket or I will". We ended up having the casket closed. The next day, at graveside, they provided a small bunch of carnations for the attendees to lay upon the casket. The flowers ran out, and the staff started pulling random flowers out of the gift arrangements to give to the guests. Definitely low-rent. There's more, but you get the point: Very poor preparation of the deceased; lousy attitudes dealing with bereaved families; poor planning of details such as graveside flowers (and cheap ones, to boot). I suggest going elsewhere.
